Reverse repo now 1 trillion

The timing of the first repos in October of 2019 and the initial emergence of Corona two months later cannot be overstated.

Reverse Repos explained for mortals:

The fed prints money - devaluing the dollar - and gives it to banks to lend to you at interest. If you don't borrow, the banks use that cash to buy treasuries, with interest paid for by your tax dollars.

In other words, either you pay them interest on a personal loan, or you pay them interest through taxes. Meanwhile, prices go up (inflation), because even if you aren't borrowing, someone else is, using money they don't have to compete for scarce resources. It's open theft. This is why there is a "1%" and a "99%". Deficit spending is a direct transfer of wealth to the priveleged banker class.

And yet, all of the Occupy Wall Street kids seem to think that the solution is more government spending and socialized services. The culture war is lost, and the bankers have become shameless in their looting because they know we will never do anything about it.

How much longer until pop?


1.1? 1.3? 2T?

Whenever the Rothschilds have decided they've sucked all of the life out of the US. Only then will they pull the plug. At that point, you'd better have savings in something other than USD.

Also explains the sudden "shortages" since the end of 2019

You get it. You are 100% correct

Well done

I'm amazed it is at 1t

That explains all the loans.

Pure estimation: 1 month!

The Bloomberg article says the FedRes has stored up about $435 billion in its account...because we are approaching the debt ceiling. With infighting in Congress...that $435 billion will last about a month...if even that long...the gov't will "shut" down with only "essential" services being paid for. In like 1995 I almost got stuck in Korea...was trying to fly home, but was not sure that there would be TSA (or whatever they were called then) would be at the airport to "let us back into the USA)! Gov't shuts down - trade goes down - inspections at ports will be slow/none!

Biden will issue an EO

The fact that they reinstated a debt celling is a good thing
We are about to go through a flood of easy cash in the system. free credit. No one will be turned down for loans , if you have a pulse you will be approved .

Nope! No loans to businesses and people. The banks make more money borrowing from the Fed and then storing what they borrowed at the Fed...higher interest. Ask yourself this: Would you rather extend a loan to the government or businesses/humans...considering the fact that there is a LOT more risk lending to businesses/humans during this time of CoVID?

Is that really true these days ? Someone has to be playing with liquidity to ensure the RE and used car markets don't implode.

It really was driven home while walking through an Ollies (think big lots) and a gallon of bleach was $5.69

Sort of. Interest on treasuries is paid with taxes and more debt. 100% guaranteed - 0 chance of bankruptcy. But that interest is absolutely nothing compared to a consumer loan.

Plus, the resulting inflation erodes the purchasing power of our savings and income. That wealth gets transferred to the lenders. It's sick and corrupt to the core.

It's at two trillion now.

It was historic last year.

To help grasp this - Set this chart to 'max':

There is only one solution...they are ironing out the details....Edward Dowd was rolled out to explain by Blackrock...look at Davos, the solution, a new synthetic global currency in waiting, is staring you in the face.

I'm kind of an economic dumbass so what exactly is the "repo market"

Is it essentially removing cash from circulation?

Splain it to me like I'm a 4th grader

I tried to find one of the explanations posted here over the past two years:




Also, this entire thread discusses it: Thread: This is terrifying! You will need to think and do research...but, when you do!!!!

kind of correlates with inflation

Here's a link with an explanation from before this mess began:

Just reminding you of the water heating up in the pot. *ribbit*

ITS GETTING GERY WARM IN HERE

Now over $2 trillion.


This thread is less than a year old - And it's doubled since it was posted.

It's not just our country - Side-eying why people in the US aren't searching for this as much, but people in India are - India's having inflation issues as well.

Another record yesterday.

Remember this?

People started worrying about this in the middle of 2021:
Thread: Reverse Repo Rate hits 755 Billion

This is the only thread I've seen about it for months:
Thread: Fed giving banks hundreds of billions

This is where it's now:

Wonder why we aren't shouting off rooftops about this.

You held the same IP for six months???

2.5T and counting.
